Only two Saturdays left until August break! At the Market in the summer, it can get pretty warm around noon, so we like to think of it as a summer beach party down there--just without the ocean...or the sand...or swimsuits. But we do have shady tents, cool drinks, floppy sun hats, and other beachy apparel and décor. So come on down, grab an ice cold beverage, and enjoy the Market before we go on summer break and the vendors take themselves to the beach for real.

Vendor Spotlight
Life at the beach is better with a hat! Tula sun hats are available for men, women and children at Down2Earth Eco-Boutique.

Also, we will double your SNAP dollars with up to $40 worth of FAB tokens. That means that you if you spend up to $40, you will get $80 back! The green FAB tokens can be spent on Florida-grown fruits, veggies, and edible plants. So what's stopping you? Double your SNAP dollars every Saturday!

The Market Footprint
Ever wondered where, exactly, the Market ends and begins?
The Market stretches directly north from the train tracks, up North Kentucky Avenue, across Pine Street and Bay Street, all the way to Oak Street. That's over four blocks of Market fun!
Ever wondered where to park?
There is parking conveniently located at both ends of the market--on Oak Street and across the train tracks by Munn Park. There is also limited on-street parking on Tennesee Ave. and Pine St.
